Explanation
The Individual Satyagraha was launched by Mahatma Gandhi in October 1940 to affirm the right to free speech and to protest against Indias involvement in World War II without the consent of its people. Gandhi carefully selected the participants to maintain non violence and discipline. Acharya Vinoba Bhave was chosen as the first Satyagrahi to offer resistance. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru was selected as the second Satyagrahi, and Brahma Dutt was the third. Nehru was arrested soon after starting his protest in November 1940. Therefore, Option B is the correct answer.
